Verify if you can place both ISP routers in bridge mode. This ensures all connected Ethernet ports receive public IP addresses while the router functions as a media converter (coaxial, fiber, etc., to Ethernet). In PFSense, both ISPs should display public IPs once configured. After setup, define rules to route traffic through each ISP using the corresponding IP addresses. For accessing media via Spectrum, identify the associated IPs and set up the appropriate rule.
Currently everything is factory reset. I'm searching for a detailed video or instructions on configuring two VMs on a pfSense device. Even if I need to manually disable the fiber connection, that's acceptable. I just want to avoid unexpected shutdowns. I'm tagging you so you can see my response. Regarding bridge mode, I'm not sure how to set it up correctly—I'll look for a step-by-step guide for integrating two VMs into pfSense. From what my friend mentioned, it should be possible by configuring OPT as WAN2 and connecting it.
Yes, then follow the guidelines on which traffic routes where or if it serves as a backup connection (based on what the video displays). When connecting to ISP routers that are also linked to pfSense before switching to bridge mode, verify internet access for both systems when pfsense goes offline. If you provide the models of your ISP routers, I can assist with further research.
Begin with bridge mode as the first step. Place the devices in bridge or DMZ configuration so everything functions properly. I reviewed the video you shared—it looked strong and should work well. The only thing to confirm is that the ISP equipment is set to bridge or DMZ mode.
I think the issue lies with the fiber modem. You connected it to WAN while your gaming PC was on LAN, but the connection fluctuated between 850 and 950 Mbps before dropping unexpectedly. It seems the modem might not be compatible with PF-Sense, though the spectrum modem functions properly. I’ve switched to using a USB network adapter now, disabling the fiber connection when needed. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to troubleshoot for days. Thank you all for your help and suggestions!
